Test 6 – A & B

A – "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is a Water Triple with a Diversion Shot, Land Blind and a Water Blind. On the right of the test, a gun station throws a dead bird to the left onto the dyke at 80 yards. To the left of the mat is a “Mom & Pop” gun station that shoots and throws a dead bird to the right landing at the end of a point at 47 yards. The third bird is a large throw to the left up the hill at 35 yards.



After the dog picks up this go-bird, there is a Diversion Shot. After all three marks are picked up, the dog runs a Water Blind angle entry into the pond to the right at 60 yards. Finally, the dog runs the Land Blind under the arc of the left hand bird located 51 yards from the mat.

B – "You and Me" is a Water Triple with a Diversion Shot, Land Blind and a Water Blind. This test began shortly after 10:00 am after an extended morning rain delay. There is a "Momma/Poppa" gun station located to the left of the line.The left side of this bird station shoots and throws a dead bird up the hill at 85 yards. The right side of this bird station then shoots and throws a dead bird to the right landing at the end of the point at 50 yards. The third bird is a swing to the right, where there is a well-concealed station below the level of the dyke on the far right side of the test. This station shoots and throws a bird splashing into the water at a tempting 30 yards.

The dogs can pick up the birds in any order, but the Diversion Shot sounds after the dog picks up the bird that lands on the hillside. The Water Blind is an angle entry into the pond under the arc of the second mark across a small piece of water to the left side of this point at 45 yards. Finally, the Land Blind is run to the right of the mat along the top of the dyke where the bird is planted at 60 yards.
